Movies immigrated to the Soviet Union.

Joseph Stalin (1878- 1953) was the supreme leader of the former Soviet Union for nearly 30 years. During this period, he largely transformed the Soviet Union from the original agricultural economic society into an industrialized society, and defeated Nazi Germany during World War II, making the Soviet Union a superpower that could compete with the United States.

But this Soviet leader also has his own private life. The following are four little-known personal life stories of Stalin.

When I was a child, I was nicknamed "Pockmarked"

The future Soviet leader suffered from smallpox in his childhood. Although he survived, the disease left an obvious scar on his face, probably from a scratch when he was sick as a child.

Because of these scars, other children nicknamed him "Asako", which not only accompanied Stalin throughout his childhood, but also left him with a lasting psychological trauma, so that most of his photos were specially treated on his face.

Almost became a priest.

Young Stalin was a clever student and won a scholarship during his study in Tbilisi Theological Seminary. But he didn't graduate from this seminary, so he is not qualified to be a priest. Stalin revealed that he was expelled for reading Marxist books and spreading Marxist ideas at school.

film audience

Stalin is a movie fan. In his spare time, he likes to watch movies in private theaters in the Kremlin, not only in the Soviet Union, but also in western countries. Stalin especially liked Charlie Chaplin's films and The Tale of Mount Tai, but his favorite film was Volga River, which was filmed by the famous Soviet director Grigori Aleksandrov in 1938. It is said that he watched the film again and again, and his feelings were extremely involved.

Refuse to exchange soldiers for marshals

194 1 year, Stalin's eldest son Yakov was captured by the Germans near Smolensk. At first, Yakov was taken to an ordinary prison camp, but when Hitler learned his identity, he hoped to exchange him for the captured Marshal friedrich paulus. However, it is said that Stalin rejected the German proposal and said that he would not "exchange soldiers for marshals".

Finally, Yakov died in Saxony Hausen prison camp in northeast Germany on 1943.

Stalin was really cruel to his son, but he probably had no choice.
